Episode 320
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the table where all the duels in the round of 16 were over.
‘As expected.’
Spearheaded sword, Borini Kitten, Garona, Blue Sword, Cadiz, and even Ron, the mage of destruction ranked 9th in the Twelve Stars of the Continent. The round of 16 proceeded without the slightest error from what was expected when first looking at the bracket.
‘It’ll be fun.’
After Borini Keaton, I thought about fighting Garo and Cadiz Robert, the dragon beast, so my hands naturally tightened up.
-Is there anything else to do before that?
Lars stumbled onto the ice flower bracelet.
‘yes.’
Raon licked his lips at Derus’s direct subordinate, Matio, who was below the lineup.
‘Because I have to defeat that guy and Tacheon’s surprise attack at the same time.’
-How are you going to do that? Now tell me.
‘well.’
-Ouch…
Lars’ eyes widened and he gritted his teeth to make a loud noise.
-A guy with a lot of secrets doesn’t live long! The king himself will listen to you, so tell me your plan!
The guy asked again, holding back his anger to see if he was really curious.
‘I don’t want to live long and have many secrets.’
– This damn bastard is all the way!
Lars finally couldn’t stand it and rushed at it, causing a chill.
‘Because I have to play the quarterfinals. I’ll play with you later.’
Raon punched Lars, who was pushing his face.
‘ah! Lars.’
I pushed Lars away and grabbed him by the back of the neck again. I wanted to add confidence to my predictions.
– What!
The boy turned his head around as if he was upset.
‘Do you remember the last purple magic Tacheon used?’
– Of course. The other half uses paper or something like magic.
Lars nodded slowly.
– Harmony of light and dark. It is a force called Chaos.
‘also.’
Raon smiled lightly and nodded.
‘Do you know how to stop that?’
– Kheung! Even if you die and wake up with your skills, it’s impossible! After all, you tried to borrow the power of the main king! The king has no intention of helping you, the cheeky bastard!
Lars clicked his tongue and smirked as if this was a good opportunity.
‘that’s right. Like you said, it’s impossible for me to block the power of chaos. It just needs to be dealt with when the two powers are light and dark before they mix, right?’
If chaos was an unstoppable force, it would have been enough to deal with it before light and darkness met.
-Uh…
Lars’ mouth was gaping open with his tongue sticking out.
-Is that so?
The boy nodded blankly, then stopped.
-Ah no, that’s not enough…
‘Yes. end.’
– You stupid bastard! You missed one! If the other half attacks with chaos from the beginning…
‘That’s not going to happen.’
The power of chaos is powerful. If you blow it as it is, the heads of Yukwang in the conference hall will immediately jump out, so Tacheon will definitely send the light and darkness separately and mix them here.
‘thanks. Thanks to you, I’m convinced.’
Raon patted Lars’ head, which was as thin as cotton candy.
-You guys will be punished! If the sky doesn’t fall, the main king…
‘The devil said he really likes the sky.’
– That remark! It’s racism!
‘You’re not human.’
-Then racism!
As Lars screamed, the emcee went up to the arena.
“Then, from now on, let’s start the master class dueling match 8!”
“Wowaaaaaa!”
“It’s finally the quarterfinals!”
“I thought I would die waiting!”
“Get started quickly! I’m going to run out of breath!”
The host responded by waving to the cheers of the audience and pointed to the first column of the bracket.
“The 1st round of the quarterfinals is Sulhwa Swordsman Raon Sieghart vs. Continental Twelve Stars Ranked 7th, Spearheaded Sword Borini Keaton!”
At his cry, cheers erupted that were enough to leave the arena.
“Raon! Raon!”
“Snow Flower Swordsman!”
“Spearheaded sword! Spearheaded sword! Spearheaded sword!”
“Seolhwa Swordsmanship was better than I thought, but it’s impossible for spearhead swords.”
“Didn’t you see it before the round of 16? They just smeared Matisse!”
“Are Borini Keaton and Matisse the same? Does the 7th place in the continental zodiac look like rice?”
There were still many people predicting Borini Keaton’s victory, but Raon’s support increased incomparably compared to the round of 16.
“after.”
Raon went up to the arena, listening to the cheers of the audience pushing his back.
Looking from the other side, Keaton approached with hard, angular steps.
He had flowing blue hair, his eyes were as sharp as a spear, and his spirit was aloof. The long-lived pine tree looked like a human being.
‘It’s one level higher than Matisse.’
Unlike Matisse Kisserm, who was intermediate, Borini Keaton was clearly at the advanced master level. If you saw it easily, you could have been defeated in an instant.
“This is the first time we have had a personal conversation. I wish you well.”
Borini Keaton stepped forward and nodded. His low voice was full of courage and courtesy.
“Others seem to view Prosecutor Raon a little low, but I am different.”
He slowly gained momentum. Air waves rose from the tips of his toes as if stabbing his skin with an awl.
“I consider Prosecutor Raon to be the most dangerous championship candidate out of all the opponents here.”
To see if that was true, Keaton’s momentum did not diminish. It seemed to mean that I would do my best from the beginning.
“Thank you for liking it, but it’s not as good as the dragon beast or the blue sword.”
“no. I think you are on a par with them.”
“It’s a bit of a burdensome expectation.”
When Raon saw it, he smiled lightly against the momentum generated by Kitten.
Koo-goo-goo-goo!
The duel hadn’t even started yet, but Raon and Borini Kitten’s air waves interlocked, and sand and stone fragments rose above the arena.
“It’s already hot.”
The host swallowed his saliva in a cold sweat from the energy of the two.
“Starting from the quarterfinals, two more magics will be added to protect the arena! Please use your skills to the fullest.”
He went down into the arena and raised his hand.
“Then, the first round of the quarterfinals! Start!”
The moment the moderator’s hand pointed at the arena from the sky, Raon and Borini Keaton’s bodies disappeared.
Whoa!
In the blink of an eye, the two collided in the center with their swords drawn. It was an instant sword strike that led directly to the attack.
Woo woo woo!
Swords and swords exposed each other and fired fierce and sharp sword strikes.
“You’re reacting too.”
Borini Keaton nodded in agreement.
“You have expectations, so you have to meet them.”
Raon nodded and unfolded his mad sword. A slash that could even split the air fell in an oblique line.
“hmm!”
Borini Keaton raised his sword unfazed. The strong qi around the blade was sharpened even more, and it stood up to the mad sword’s herbivore.
Kyaaaaang!
The second clash is also a whistle. It was a clash in the Middle Ages that no one was pushed out.
Koo-goo-goo-goo!
Raon pushed the Jecheon sword with strength in the ankle of his left foot. The sharpness and intensity of the aura was higher than Borini Kitten, but because of the difference in physical ability, I was confident enough to weigh him down.
Chiyiying!
Borini Kitten noticed that he was being pushed out of his strength and stepped back, deflecting his sword face.
“Isn’t this kind of power a foul with a body like that?”
He twisted his wrists and frowned. It was a look of shock.
“We haven’t even started yet.”
Raon smiled coldly and stamped his feet. As he moved forward, he raised his mad sword again.
A sword attack like a snake clinging to the ground aiming at a descending bird and revealing its fangs. It was the training of poisonous death of the mad sword.
Whoa!
Borini Keaton stepped back with her left foot to create space, then struck the center of the venomous snake that surged upward.
“hmm!”
Raon narrowed his eyes and swallowed a moan. My arm bones trembled from the intense impact.
‘It stabs properly.’
I have confidence in my mad sword.
The name of the spear tipped sword, which had risen to the 12 stars of the continent, was genuine, as it aimed not only at the gaps of people but also at the smallest gaps in swordsmanship.
Whoa!
This time, it’s Borini Keaton’s counterattack. As I slashed the poison snake, I slashed the sword that had risen to the upper left. A swift yet sharp sword strike fell towards the head.
Wow!
Raon twisted his ankle. The strength of the body raised from the gastrocnemius muscle and the fever of a comic artist from the short circuit were simultaneously expelled.
Wow!
The volcanic eruption of the sword and the thunderbolt of Borini Kitten’s slash clashed.
Jijijijijik!
As the river and the river competed, red sparks spread throughout the arena.
‘Am I trying to find an opening?’
Borini Kitten aimed for a gap in the upward sword attack and neutralized its power. It was an extraordinary eye and sharpness.
“Whoa.”
Raon wet his lips with his tongue.
‘I have to get that.’
I decided what to learn from the duel with Borini Keaton. Instantaneous judgment to aim for an accurate gap, and mastery of the prepared sword and straight sword to pierce that gap. I was determined to get those three.
– Aren’t you too greedy?
‘It’s better than not being greedy.’
-If Grid sees you, he’ll run to you.
‘Hogu is always welcome.’
Raon smiled as he corrected his sword.
“The mood has changed.”
Borini Kitten narrowed his eyes and raised his sword in the middle.
“Still, there is no such thing as vigilance. I will go with all my might.”
He pushed the ground and came closer, spraying sword strikes. Goosebumps ran up his spine at the terrifying sight of the blade approaching his throat. It was Choi Sang-seung’s martial arts true blood test that he had learned.
oh oh oh!
Raon resonated the ring of fire. The seven rings resonated in succession and the world began to slow down.
Woo woo woo!
Boriki Keaton’s swordplay comes to mind. Without the slightest shake, he was moving straight toward the gap he had set at the beginning.
‘What I see now…’
Looking through the ring of fire, Kitten couldn’t see any gaps. But it doesn’t matter.
‘Because if it doesn’t exist, I can just make it.’
I lowered my center of gravity and gave strength to my hands. Cold air welling up from the floor. It was a snow wind sword that contained the energy of Glacia.
Kyaaaaaang!
The snow wind sword’s Qing Yun-ryun twisted and engaged with the true blood swordsmanship caused by Keaton.
Raon and Boriki Kitten passed each other and met their eyes.
Chow ah!
Borini Keaton quickly turned his ankle and unleashed a second sword strike.
Raon did not immediately counterattack, but stretched his left foot forward.
‘Three gaps.’
There are three gaps in Borini Kitten created by the twist of the snow wind sword. But it wasn’t all real. I had to filter out the fakes and find the real ones.
‘Right waist.’
The gaps in his neck and heart were shaking too honestly, as if asking for a stab. There was no way Borini Keaton would leave a vital spot like that, so it must have been fake.
After making a quick decision, I slashed the jecheon sword toward Keaton’s waist. The straight sword and the pre-sword were harmonized so that it could be properly inserted into the gap.
“Um…”
Borini Keaton turned the attack he had been throwing away into defense and blocked the sword aimed at his waist.
Chiyiying!
But that, too, is a swordsman. The breath of the absolute sword that broke the flow created another gap in Borinini Keaton.
‘This time…’
Raon took a step further, created a cartoonist, and converted the snow wind sword into a mad sword. Sharpness and accuracy were captured in the ferocity of the mad sword.
Aaaaaang!
Looking at the fierce yet refined swordsmanship like an unleashed wild beast, Keaton could not counterattack and only blocked gaps.
Chii profit!
Borini Keaton, pushed back, frowned and straightened her back.
“It feels like your temperament itself has changed a little while ago.”
He squeezed his sword tightly and narrowed his eyes.
“It feels like fighting against a mirror.”
“I like to look for gaps, too.”
“Then we must compete to see who is higher.”
Borini Keaton gritted his teeth and charged. Even the footwork was sharp. It cut through the rear with a blade-like movement.
“However much.”
Raon smiled coldly and stabbed the snow wind sword. Borini Kitten also fought back, deploying the true blood sword with all his might.
Damn it!
Red and blue black air cut through the sinking sun.
* * *
White sandy beach with soft waves.
Two men in masks and helmets sat at a wooden table in the crimson sun sinking toward the horizon.
“Are you sure you want to?”
A man wearing a helmet of a red snake with two horns asked as he watched the setting sun.
“Of course not.”
Wearing the mask of a young man who was younger than when he was fighting Glenn, Tacheon tapped the map on the table with a soft smile.
The place indicated on the map is the center of Owen’s castle. It was also where the battlegrounds were located.
“Like Glenn later. No, can’t we just leave the buds that could be more than that? In addition, it can erase the future of other emperors, so there will never be another opportunity like this.”
“Raon Sieghart…”
“Oh, that’s what happened to the enemy, too.”
“Not me.”
“Ah mistake.”
Tacheon smiled lightly. He said it was a mistake, but there was no sign of regret on his face.
“And it is pointless.”
The enemy ghost waved his hand slowly.
“That’s good.”
Tacheon nodded and looked away. The Jeolsoul Sword was looking at the distant sea with its feet dipped in the shallow water.
“Whoops.”
He looked at the back of the sword for a while and smiled, then raised his index and middle fingers.
oh oh oh oh!
A white light and a black light twinkled and rose from the two fingers.
“Even if Emperor Yu is in the conference room, there will be strong players in the arena.”
“Human beings. If you focus on one, you cannot see the other.”
Tacheon smiled as he saw the black and white light floating above his fingers.
“When the fight between the two reaches its climax, there is no light or darkness coming down from the sky. Especially if it blends into the sunset.”
“Um…”
“Then let’s say hello.”
When Tacheon lowered his hand, the two lights from his fingers penetrated the map in a semicircle.
“Because today is the last of the Twelve Stars and Raon Sieghart.”
A magnificent light emanated from the map along with a child-like sound of laughter.
* * *
Kyagya Gya Gya Gyan!
Amidst the storm of red river air, there was a sound like metal scraping against a saw blade.
It was the roar of Raon and Borini Kitten pouring sword strikes at each other.
Above the two swords, sharpened strong air like an awl was burning. It was a sword steel polished to accurately and sharply stab each other’s gaps.
So-so-so-so-so-so-so!
A fierce shockwave erupted as the river and the river collided, but neither Laon nor Borini Keaton backed down. Even though the torn wounds would have been burned by the strong air and the pain would be enormous, he only pushed his sword to end the opponent’s breath.
Red eyes shone in Raon’s eyes.
‘Right shoulder left knee.’
the real knee.
As soon as you see the gap, you can distinguish the real from the fake. He threw a snow wind sword towards his left knee.
“Keuuugh…”
Borini Keaton, who could not properly offset the cold sword strike, was pushed back by two feet.
Wow!
Raon stepped forward with his right foot forward. It rotated with great heat from the power soaring from the femoral muscles.
Hoecheon, a cartoonist. The spinning saw blade of flame broke down with ignorant force.
Aaaaaang!
Borini Kitten couldn’t handle the force and was pushed back to the end of the arena. It was powerful enough to leave traces in the arena protected by magic.
Woo woo woo woo!
After the storm of Kang Ki stops, the figures of the two are revealed.
Raon’s uniform was torn and stained red in several places, and Borini Keaton’s armor was dented or cracked, and blood flowed out. Neither looked good, but their complexions were perfectly bright.
“Uh…”
“Someone said it was one-sided! It’s so close!”
“No, Raon seems more advantageous now?”
“That’s the real power of the Sulwha Swordsmen Association…”
“If you think about it, it was only natural to be kidnapped! The 10 Apostles and Merlin!”
“okay. I couldn’t care less about kidnapping.”
“If you think about it, there are only two apostles captured by the Seolhwa Swordsman!”
The audience opened their mouths as they saw Raon competing against Keaton in a head-to-head competition. A lot of people were drooling as if they were surprised.
“It’s been a while since I’ve had such a fun fight.”
Borini Keaton gripped the sword with a slightly trembling hand. He said it was a fight, not sparring or a duel. It meant thinking like a real game.
“I see.”
Raon smiled and nodded.
‘It was a really educational sparring.’
I learned a lot from fighting him. Distinction between real gaps and fake gaps Judgment aiming for an important place among gaps, mastery of preliminary swords and regular swords. It was no different from the teacher who taught me right in front of me.
“I heard that there is a monster that grows while fighting, but it’s scary to see it right in front of you.”
“Thanks to you, I learned a lot.”
Borini Keaton was also a complete knight in character. It was not a mockery, but a sincere thank you.
“It’s a pity, but it’s time to end it.”
Borini Keaton smiled. He raised his sword to the top and pulled his left foot back. Changsoo raised all of his auras while taking a stance as if aiming for an enemy at mid-range.
oh oh oh!
As the aura grows stronger, the strong wind surrounding him subsides. Literally, a single spear that has endlessly polished the river. My heart tightened with the momentum to tear apart any shield.
Raon bit his lip and smiled. Awakened the cartoonist and Glacia at the same time. It was an operating method that put a heavy burden on the mana circuit, but it was not something to cover up now.
Whoaaaaa!
He ignited the sparks of the cartoonist with his right hand, aimed at Keaton, and his left hand gripped the blade of the requiem sword behind his waist.
Koo-goo-goo-goo!
The battleground started to shake as if there was an earthquake as the energy waves of each other, which had pulled out power, collided with each other.
“Whoops.”
Raon inhaled and licked his lips.
‘It’s hot.’
I can feel the intense gaze of Borini Keaton. I could feel the spirits of Matio glaring at him with his eyes wide open, the emcee swallowing dry saliva, and all the spectators.
‘I’ll come now.’
Because now, when all eyes and minds were focused on this arena, that would be the moment he was aiming for.
Chiyiying!
The ring of fire and the sense of tale were used in polarity. Time passes more slowly. I inspected the sky with a sense so detailed that I could feel the weight of the dust touching my fingertips.
‘Come…’
The senses that had been polished to the limit caught the secret aura of light and darkness falling from the distant sky. As expected, he tried to mix the light and darkness after sending them separately.
‘I have to go now.’
Raon gritted it. The power that had been focused on Borini Kitten was further compressed.
Bullfight!
The moment the heat that wrapped around the Celestial Sword was condensed in an instant, Borinini Keaton rushed. It seemed like he thought he was ready and attacked.
‘I can’t stop this.’
If you defend here, you won’t be able to block the energy of the fallen sky from above. They will mix and become chaos.
‘Endure.’
Stepping on the Taehwabo, he twisted his body. Borini Keaton’s eyes widened. He too felt something strange and tried to draw his sword, but it was too late.
Pukaaaak!
The right side of his back was torn open, and red blood gushed out.
“Why…”
Borini Keaton’s chin quivered. He seemed to ask why he stopped.
“I’ll deal with the intruders and come back.”
Raon laughed faintly and kicked the ground with the energy he gathered.
Whoa!
As they made their way toward the aura of light and darkness that were gradually moving toward each other, Rimmer came out of the crowd on the right.
‘Did the sophomore wait for you too?’
I thought he was just gambling, but he seemed to be preparing for the unexpected.
Rimmer smiles and speaks with his eyes. It seemed to ask if you could.
As he nodded, his smile deepened.
“Then let’s go!”
Rimer pulled out his sword and placed it under his feet, then raised it. Thanks to that, I was able to reach the sky at a higher speed than if I had climbed from the floor with all my might.
Pajijijik!
Light and darkness were approaching each other like magnets in the setting sun where day and night intersect. Between the two powers, purple sparks containing chaos began to fly.
Raon’s red eyes flashed with even more thunderbolt. The fire from the Jecheon Sword and the frost from the Requiem Sword shot towards the two lights.
Quaaaaaa!
